6 months agoWe visited the Nilüfer Doruk Emergency Department with undiagnosed upper abdominal pain for two months, and thanks to referrals, we were fortunate enough to meet Dr. Volkan. He performed my gallbladder surgery, a risky and difficult procedure, with great dedication and success. The care, patience, and cheerful demeanor he showed before and after the surgery instilled great confidence in both me and my family. He is not only an expert surgeon in his field, but also an exemplary physician with his humbleness and appreciation for humanity. We cannot thank Dr. Volkan enough. We are so grateful that our paths crossed, and we are so grateful to have met such a doctor. We also thank Dr. Volkan and all the healthcare professionals who contributed to the surgery. Thank you, may you prosper. May Dr. Volkan's path and fortune always be bright. May he continue to succeed. We are so grateful to have you.

4 weeks agoI remember Dr. Volkan in 2012, when I met him after my mother's colon diagnosis, and his approach to the process, his reassurance that nothing would happen to her, is still fresh in my mind. Thanks to him, my mother truly got through this process; she was reborn. In October, I was worried about a lump in my groin and found Dr. Volkan at Doruk Nilüfer Hospital. I immediately knocked on his door. His approach to the process, his careful follow-up, and his detailed analysis wouldn't change for any other doctor. I followed everything he said to the letter, and a very successful surgery got rid of the lump. Varol Dr. 🙏🏻

6 months agoShortly after discovering a lump in my left breast, I crossed paths with Dr. Volkan. Immediately after the examination, he quickly ordered a biopsy without tiring me out, because my esteemed doctor had already recognized the potential complications. And just as he predicted, the tumor turned out to be Stage 2 breast cancer. We went into surgery without delay, and he delivered me back to my mother, safe and sound, on Mother's Day. It was the best possible operation. I don't know whose prayers I received, but our doctor was my greatest asset. He never tired me during this process, always empathized with me, and helped me make alternative decisions. I'M GLAD YOU'RE WITH YOU, MR.
